I was wondering if anyone has tried or has had any long term success with the guidance of this book?

I'm currently going to try the olive leaf therapy and see if I have any success.  I'll certainly keep you all posted on any progress but in the mean time I was wondering if anyone has had any luck and what your story was or is.

LTYG is only one of several UC/digestive health books in my "library," but I did find it to be extremely thorough and helpful. An interesting aspect of LTYG I haven't found in similar books is her wild oregano oil therapy to address any viral/bacterial/fungal aspects of IBD and her levels of dietary restrictions, based on the severity of your symptoms.

The book doesn't come cheap, but it does give you tons of information. Before you purchase, you may check your local library for copies. I believe my library carries an older version of the book - not quite as extensive, but still helpful.

I thought it was a good read but she repeats a lot of information throughout the entire book. She could've made the book half the size it was. But anyway, I tried the supplements, aloe vera, NAG, MucosaHeal, and I can't remember what else she recommends. It didn't help me but maybe just try it out. The main protein supplement she recommends is her meal replacement drink. I went through about 8 of those over the summer because I was desperate for something that digested easy. I did get thrush from the whey so I had to stop taking them. I also don't do well with grains and I don't eat meat- her diet plans had a lot of both of those.

Did you try the wild oregano and if so was it helpful?  I'm considering giving it a try but thought i'd ask before I purchased.

 

Thanks Again!

Yes, in fact, I'm on it now. It's an excellent antifungal. When my diet lapses for too long and I start to have symptoms of candida overgrowth, I'll take a course of it to get things back in balance.

Thanks princesa!

One more question if you don't mind?

I tried the olive leaf starting on Friday the 23rd and I was on 2 250mg pills daily to start. By Sunday I had bad stabbing pains in my gut. I mean it might have meen too much too fast (Die off Effect possibly) but who knows. Any way, did you notice anything like that when you just started out? I'm considering buying the Oregano and mucosaheal but I've been spending all kinds of money recently just trying to get something working but it seems most things end up done before I can even get started.

Thanks Again!
